Raise your hand if you are going to give your wife 100 rounds of ammunition and tell her to take on a guy with an AK-47
Absolutely.
You don't seem to understand much about the criminal mind. Most criminals are total cowards on the inside. In fact, it's part of their motivation for doing their crimes. They want to feel like they are not afraid, and so they need to inflect themselves on others. Gives them this power-feeling that negates their cowardice.
But the moment an armed citizen confronts one of these power-tripping cowards, they all usually back down.
Clackamas Mall Shooting is a perfect example. The man Nick Meli pulled his conceal and carry pistol, and aimed it at the shooter who was armed with a AR-15. So we have a guy with a Glock 22, confronting a man with a AR-15. You are acting like the size of the gun, or the total number of bullets matters.
Nick Meli didn't even fire his weapon. The shooter just upon seeing him, backed down. We are not entirely sure what happened, but we think the shooter killed himself after seeing an armed citizen.
Now obviously I want my wife to have as much ammunition as she needs. But yes, the answer to your question is, yeah I want her to be armed.
Because when you say "tell her to take on a guy with...."..... That is ridiculous. No one *wants* their wife to have to take on anyone. The problem is, it isn't up to us, or her. You don't know when you will be caught in a situation with a shooter.
I was reading about a pizza delivery driver who on delivering a pizza, was attacked and pin to the ground by a guy who started removing her clothes to rape her. She pulled a pistol she had on her, and shot the guy. Did her husband "tell her to go take on" this guy? No. Of course not. But she didn't have a choice in the matter.
The sick part of that story, is that the company fired the woman for violating their no-gun rules. Left-wing ideology at work. Punish the innocent, and reward the criminals.
Better she was armed, and able to shoot the attacker.
This is the reality of armed criminals.
4 or 5 guys, all armed with guns, break into this couples house. The lady comes out with a pistol, and starts shooting them. They don't get angry, and fight her. They all scatter like rats. If I remember the story right, she shot two of them. Can't remember if either died from their injuries.
